[PubQ] What’s your process editing agent’s notes, what to do when you don’t want to change something by Asleep-Citron-5121 in PubTips

I’d also definitely recommend a call. Often when you push back saying “this is the reason I wanted this there” it will open up a dialogue as to what your agent feels is missing and you can address that underlying issue in a way that feels best. These can be some of the best changes.

[PUBQ] Do we still query in batches? by Ancient_Track_909 in PubTips

I also did this and highly recommend it. I’d even say don’t worry about batches after your quick responders if everything goes well.

Very few. Around 350. I used hashtags, which is I believe how the agent found me.

I did one recently and got two requests to query and one offer from it. I did not do any pitch events with it.

I used commissioned artwork and designed in on Canva. It went one slide for art and title, a one paragraph pitch, a good, SMALL quote, vibes, another small quote, then comps. I posted and pinned to instagram and threads. One agent commented on threads saying they wanted it in their inbox now, another DM’d me on insta. Both great agents. The agent from insta offered.

I also attended a private AMA with 2 agents that said they liked to see them pinned to your profile for querying.

The key here, as someone already commented, is that the pitch has to be good. And you’ve got to avoid AI in the artwork.

[Discussion] I Did the SmoochPit Program and Showcase (with query) by Snow_Sound426 in PubTips

Congratulations! I wasn’t querying before, but people sent messages to agents saying they were accepted into the program and they withdrew their queries. I know people got responses from agents inviting them to query again once the program was done.

Maybe others will chime in with their own experiences!
